Does Acai Slim Really Work?

Created by Garden Greens, Acai Slim claims to be the next big thing in weight loss. They claim to use the ultimately powerful acai ingredient to burn fat and otherwise help you to lose weight. They claim that it is the natural way to reach your energy and weight loss goals, and apparently its formulation of green tea and acai will beat out all others.

On the good side, they do sell through legitimate retailers such as drugstore and GNC. There are no “free trial offers” or otherwise involved at this particular time. But they do use a mere 500mg proprietary blend. So what is in the Garden Greens AcaiSlim Acai Berry Smoothie blend?

Green tea-a thermogenic form of caffeine, it is also rich in antioxidants like EGCG. However, one should keep in mind that it requires at least 400mg of 50% caffeine considering the fact that caffeine is the actual fat burning component

Panax ginseng-otherwise known as Asian ginseng, this has been shown to promote a greater energy and otherwise fat loss through thermogenic fat burning. It is characterized by the presence of ginsenosides, and it has been shown to possibly promote fat loss if used in the right amounts.

Acai-though featured on various news stations and otherwise, it is not actually the most powerful superfruit at all or even among them. It is lower in antioxidants than something as basic as a blueberry. But it’s from Brazil. It definitely does not promote cleansing or weight loss benefits.

Caffeine-It has been shown to produce a powerful thermogenic effect in the body if used in the right amounts. However, it also comes with the classic side effects of caffeine.

Fucoxanthin-a natural seaweed, fucoxanthin can help you to create a thermogenic effect in the body. However, the studies are still questionable all being conducted by the same lab and researchers and only on rats. Still, with other strong ingredients, it could be potentially helpful.

Cayenne pepper-cayenne pepper is something found in the common kitchen. However, it has also commonly been used as a mild thermogenic fat burning agent

We would not recommend using this formula. With only 500mg total to cover all of these ingredients and more than one ingredient that would individually require at least 400mg, you are not on the right path to success. This formula has only the smallest amounts and it will not work in general terms for you or anyone else.
